Broncos v Panthers: Reynolds, Mam return; Same 17 for premiers

The Panthers are now just 80 minutes away from their sixth consecutive grand final appearance and a chance at a remarkable five-peat.

Opposing them are the Broncos, determined to avenge their defeat in the 2023 decider and secure their first title in 19 years at Red Hill.

With exciting matchups across the field-from star fullbacks Reece Walsh and Dylan Edwards to dynamic centers Kotoni Staggs and Izack Tago, as well as key forwards Payne Haas and Moses Leota-Sunday's clash will showcase the best of both powerhouse clubs as the season reaches its climax.

In their only encounter in 2025, the Panthers claimed a 32-8 victory at Magic Round, marking just their third win in the first nine rounds of a difficult start to the season.

Despite sinking to last place after 12 rounds, the champions stayed calm, climbing up the ladder with an impressive nine consecutive wins between Round 13 and Round 23.

Ivan Cleary's team appears to be hitting their stride at the perfect moment; however, the Broncos at home present a vastly different challenge compared to their previous finals opponents, the Roosters and Bulldogs.

The Broncos have achieved victory in 10 of 14 games at Suncorp Stadium this season, ready to harness the energy of the 50,000 fans expected to fill The Cauldron this Sunday afternoon.
